To adopt a dog you will be required to sign a contract that requires the adopter to be bound by and comply to all of the following terms and conditions. A Rescue volunteer will go over the contract with you in person at the time of adoption.
1. I will provide proper and sufficient food, water, shelter and kind treatment for the dog at all times.
2. I will have the dog immunized and examined annually, at my expense.
3. I will, if the dog is not already at the time of adoption, have it spayed or neutered as arranged and paid for by Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue by a specified date. In the event I fail to have the dog spayed or neutered within said time, I understand and agree that I will forfeit the adoption fee and I agree that I will, upon demand, immediately return the dog to the Collie/Sheltie Rescue.
4. I will not breed this dog.
5. I will provide an I.D. tag with my name and phone number, and keep it on the dog at all times.
6. I will not sell or abandon this dog, and agree that if I no longer desire to retain the dog I will return it to Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue.
7. I will agree that a representative of Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue may periodically wish to see the dog, my residence and the living conditions which I provide for the dog, and I further agree to surrender the dog to a representative of Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue if for any reason he/she considers the conditions provided by me for the dog unsuitable.
8. I will not allow this dog to be used for the purposes of vivisection or experimentation.
9. I will not permit the dog to run at large or to become a public nuisance. I also agree to immediately retrieve the dog at my expense from any public pound or dog shelter when notified that the dog is being held at any such location. In the event the dog becomes lost, I will make every reasonable effort and attempt to relocate and claim the dog.
10. I agree that I will at no time assert any claim, charge or demand of any kind against Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue for any expenses that may have been incurred by me, including veterinary fees, in connection with this dog. I also agree that any illness or injury occurring after adoption will be my sole responsibility.
11. I hereby accept the dog as is, assume all risk of ownership of the dog, including the risk of injury or damage caused by the dog.
This contract may be specifically enforced by Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue through judicial proceedings. I hereby agree that in the event I breach this contract and Pueblo Collie/Sheltie files suit to enforce this contract or to defend any claims under this contract, that I will pay any court costs and attorney's fees incurred by the Pueblo Collie/Sheltie Rescue in connection herewith.
